Position description

The Berkeley Law Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic (Samuelson Clinic) seeks applications for a Clinical Teaching Fellow focused on racial justice in technology law and policy.

The Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic trains the next generation of lawyers to advance the public interest in a digital age marked by rapid technological change. We focus our work on three main areas: protecting civil liberties, ensuring a fair criminal justice system, and promoting balanced intellectual property laws and access to information. Racial justice is an important component of our work across docket areas. We look for strategic opportunities in litigation, regulatory and legislative processes, and policy analysis.

Samuelson Clinic teaching fellow positions are designed for recent JD graduates who are considering a career in the Clinic's substantive practice areas and/or law school clinical teaching. While the clinical teaching fellow will be expected to work on projects across the range of the Clinic's substantive practice areas, applicants for this fellow position should anticipate predominantly working on projects at the intersection of racial justice and technology law and policy. Under the supervision of the clinic directors, the teaching fellow's general responsibilities include assisting with student supervision, client representation, and with the Clinic's companion seminar.

The Samuelson Clinic is committed to building an equitable and inclusive faculty and staff to teach and work in a multicultural learning environment. The law school supports the professional development of fellows through close mentoring of their work. The school also provides support for fellows to attend conferences that advance their professional development goals and interests.
